Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent partial discharge diagnosis technology, and in particular to a real-time monitoring and diagnosis system and method for partial discharge driven by edge computing. Background Technology

[0002] Partial discharge (PD), as a precursor to insulation faults in power equipment, plays a crucial early warning role in power systems. With the development of power systems towards higher voltage, larger capacity, and greater intelligence, real-time partial discharge monitoring technology is playing an increasingly important role in ensuring safe equipment operation and improving power supply reliability. However, traditional partial discharge monitoring technologies face numerous challenges, including weak signals, significant noise interference, and complex data processing.

[0003] Partial discharge real-time monitoring technology is an important means of assessing the condition of power equipment. Its core lies in capturing partial discharge signals generated during the operation of power equipment in real time through various sensors, and identifying the discharge type and location through signal processing and analysis technology, so as to ultimately achieve the assessment of the insulation status of the equipment and the early warning of faults.

[0004] Partial discharge signals are typically weak and highly susceptible to environmental noise and electromagnetic interference. This problem is particularly prominent in the partial discharge monitoring of high-voltage electrical equipment, making it extremely difficult to accurately capture and analyze partial discharge signals.

[0005] In practical applications, various electromagnetic interference sources exist around power equipment, such as other electrical equipment, radio transmissions, and even lightning activity. These interferences can mask or distort partial discharge signals, leading to inaccurate monitoring results. Furthermore, the partial discharge signal itself has low energy and is prone to attenuation during propagation, further increasing the difficulty of monitoring.

[0006] Real-time monitoring of partial discharge generates a massive amount of data. Effectively processing and analyzing this data to extract useful information is a significant challenge. With the surge in the number of power equipment, especially distribution network equipment, the sheer volume of partial discharge monitoring data exacerbates the burden on the system's computation, transmission, and storage.

[0007] Traditional data processing methods often require transmitting all data to a central server for processing. This not only consumes a large amount of bandwidth but can also lead to processing delays, affecting the real-time performance of monitoring. Furthermore, the analysis of partial discharge data requires specialized knowledge and experience. Developing accurate and reliable analysis algorithms is both a key focus and a challenge in current research. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an edge computing-driven real-time monitoring and diagnosis system and method for partial discharge. The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0009] The edge computing-driven real-time partial discharge monitoring and diagnosis system includes a partial discharge monitoring terminal planar moving device, multiple device partial discharge edge monitoring terminals, and a central server. The multiple device partial discharge edge monitoring terminals are detachably installed on the bottom of multiple planar electric sliders of the partial discharge monitoring terminal planar moving device, and move locally on top of multiple devices under test following the multiple planar electric sliders. The device partial discharge edge monitoring terminals monitor the partial discharge signals and visual data of the devices under test, and analyze whether the devices under test have a partial discharge state based on the partial discharge signals and visual data. If a partial discharge state is determined to exist, the terminal interacts with the central server to exchange the corresponding partial discharge signals and visual data. If the device partial discharge edge monitoring terminal determines that no partial discharge state exists, the terminal stores the partial discharge signals and visual data at the edge for future reference.

[0010] Optionally, the partial discharge monitoring terminal planar movement device includes multiple planar tracks, multiple planar electric sliders, and multiple electric lifting mechanisms. The multiple planar tracks are respectively installed on the top of the room where multiple devices to be tested are located. The multiple planar electric sliders are respectively installed on the multiple planar tracks. Each planar electric slider moves locally within the area of ​​its corresponding planar track. The bases of the multiple electric lifting mechanisms are respectively installed on the multiple planar electric sliders. The lifting parts of the multiple electric lifting mechanisms are vertically downward. The multiple device partial discharge edge monitoring terminals are detachably installed at the ends of the lifting parts of the electric lifting mechanisms. The device partial discharge edge monitoring terminals move within the space above the devices to be tested under the driving action of the planar electric sliders and electric lifting mechanisms.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple planar tracks are installed with the partial discharge monitoring terminal planar moving device. The planar electric slider moves locally on the corresponding planar track, which can cover the area above the planar track. Multiple equipment partial discharge edge monitoring terminals are detachably installed at the lifting end of the electric lifting mechanism. Under the joint action of the electric lifting mechanism, the monitoring position of the equipment to be monitored within the area can be matched. The equipment partial discharge edge monitoring terminal is located directly above the equipment to be monitored, which can achieve more accurate partial discharge signal and visual data acquisition. This acquisition method can avoid the situation of monitoring failure caused by obstruction in lateral monitoring as much as possible.

[0012] The equipment partial discharge edge monitoring terminal uses edge processing to process the corresponding partial discharge signals and visual data of the equipment to be monitored below. In most cases, when no partial discharge state occurs, the edge calculation and judgment of the state can significantly reduce the data processing volume of the central server. Only when the equipment partial discharge edge monitoring terminal determines that a partial discharge state has occurred will the corresponding partial discharge signals and visual data be exchanged.

[0013] By organically combining edge intelligence and mobile monitoring, the status monitoring of power equipment has been transformed from "periodic spot checks" to "continuous panoramic monitoring". It is particularly suitable for equipment health management in complex scenarios such as substations and offshore wind power, and can significantly improve the early warning of equipment failures.

The data output terminals of the multimodal sensor module and the visible light visual monitoring module are respectively connected to the edge computing module. The edge computing module calculates whether a partial discharge state exists based on the pulse current signal, mechanical vibration wave signal, electromagnetic wave signal, transient voltage signal, and visual image. The positioning module collects the current location data of the device partial discharge edge monitoring terminal.

[0021] By deeply integrating multimodal perception and edge intelligence, a closed-loop management system of "holographic perception - precise positioning - intelligent judgment - rapid response" for partial discharge of power equipment has been realized. It is especially suitable for scenarios with high reliability requirements such as new energy power plants and ultra-high voltage converter stations, which can significantly improve the average early warning time of equipment insulation faults and significantly reduce the overall operation and maintenance costs.

[0022] Optionally, the edge computing module includes an edge memory, an edge data analysis chip, and a vision analysis chip. The edge memory is communicatively connected to a high-frequency current sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an ultra-high frequency sensor, a transient voltage sensor, a vision camera, and a thermal infrared sensor, respectively, to collect pulse current signals, mechanical vibration wave signals, electromagnetic wave signals, transient voltage signals, and visual images. The edge data analysis chip and the vision analysis chip are communicatively connected to the edge memory and the vision analysis chip, respectively, to calculate whether a partial discharge state has occurred based on sensor data and visual analysis results. The edge data analysis chip is communicatively connected to the central server through an edge communication module.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the edge memory can store pulse current signals, mechanical vibration wave signals, electromagnetic wave signals, transient voltage signals and visual images at the edge for subsequent retrieval. The edge data analysis chip can extract electrical features and perform edge calculations based on multimodal data to determine the probability of partial discharge states. The visual analysis chip can efficiently process visual image data.

[0024] Optionally, the central server includes a central communication module and a computer, wherein the computer is connected to the edge communication module through the central communication module.
